[2025 Tadotsu Attraction] Travel Guide for Sanagi Island (Updated Apr)

-Kagawa- Sanagishima Island, a small island in the Seto Inland Sea of ​​Kagawa Prefecture, famous for its cat island "Flying Cats", is about 7km in circumference. The population is less than 80 people, and there are more cats than people on the island🐈 I was worried that even though there are a lot of cats, there would be fights over them, but there was no need to worry🤣... I really wanted to take a picture of the "flying cats", so I handed my camera to my friend and guided the cats with food😙 I've never taken a picture of anything moving before, so I didn't set the shutter speed, so it's a bit blurry, but my friend took a picture of the miraculous moment💕... I'll post a picture of the cats I took while walking around the island and their famous quotes🐈🏝️ 𝕚𝕟𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -𖤣𖥧𖥣𖡡𖥧𖤣 📍Sanagishima Island🚃From Takamatsu, take the JR Yosan Line to Tadotsu Station for about 40 minutes (740 yen)↓🚶♀️From Tadotsu Station, walk for about 20 minutes to Tadotsu Port. ↓🛳️From Tadotsu Port to Sanagishima Island, take the Tadotsu Kisen ferry for 50 minutes (690 yen to Motoura Port/790 yen to Nagasaki Port). 🌎 Sanagi, Tadotsu-cho, Nakatado-gun, Kagawa Prefecture🅿 There is a 24-hour free parking lot for ferry users at Tadotsu Port (about 100 cars) #Kagawa #KagawaPrefecture #KagawaTourism #KagawaTrip #KagawaTrip #CatLover #CatIsland #besttrip2023

✵ Kagawa Prefecture I went to Nekojima in Kagawa! About 20 cats greeted me all at once 🐈♡ I love cats so much, it was a paradise for me 🥹🥹 You need to feed them to become popular! If you're going for a day trip, I recommend taking the ferry first thing in the morning. I had breakfast at a udon restaurant near Tadotsu Port 🫠 There are no vending machines or convenience stores on the island, so food and water are essential!! 📍Sanagi Island, Kagawa Prefecture ⛴️15-minute walk from JR Tadotsu Station to Tadotsu Port 1-hour ferry ride from Tadotsu Port to Sanagimotoura Please note that there are only four ferries a day. #0yentripJanuary2025

📌 🇯🇵 Japan / Kagawa . ⁡ Hostel on Cat Island🐈 ⁡ Trip to Kagawa Prefecture for 2 nights and 3 days🫒 ⁡ Nekonoshima Hostel on Sanagi Island🐈 It's built by renovating an elementary school🏫 The blackboard and art room are still there, and it feels nostalgic😮💨✨ There's also a cafe next door, so you can use it even if you're not staying overnight☕️ To enjoy an island full of cats, this is a must-see🐈 The laid-back island was relaxing, and meeting so many cats was soothing~🥰 . #tripAccommodation

Sanagi Island in the Seto Inland Sea 🌿 Located in Tadotsu Town, Kagawa Prefecture, it is a popular cat island where you can meet many cats 🐈🐈⬛ There are apparently more cats than islanders 😳! You can meet cats as soon as you get off the ferry. Walking around the island, I encountered cats with various patterns depending on the area! They are very friendly, so they will come over to you right away 😊. ◇Access To access Sanagi Island, use a ferry 🛳 Sanagi Island has two ports, Motoura Port and Nagasaki Port. The fare is also cheap, so I recommend using Motoura Port, which is closer. ○Tadotsu Port - Motoura Port (Sanagi Island) Adult round trip 1,320 yen○Tadotsu Port - Nagasaki Port (Sanagi Island) Adult round trip 1,510 yen　※Be careful not to get off at the wrong place as you will pass through Takami Island on the way. There are only 3-4 ferries a day from Tadotsu Port to Sanagishima Island. I took the 14:00 departure and 14:50 arrival from Tadotsu Port, and the 17:10 departure and 18:00 arrival from Motoura Port (Sanagishima Island). The time spent on the island was just right, 2 hours and 20 minutes ⛵️ I think the 15:25 departure from Motoura Port (Sanagishima Island) was not long enough 🔍 ☆ There is free parking at Tadotsu Port. You can also get there in 15-20 minutes on foot from the nearest JR Tadotsu Station 🏃♀️. I've been to many cat islands so far, but I highly recommend this one because of how easy it is to encounter cats and how easy it is to get to it 😸 If you're going to a cat island for the first time, be sure to visit Sanagishima ✨. =================📍Sanyagishima✈️Kagawa🏠Sanyagishima, Tadotsu-cho, Tadotsu-gun, Kagawa Prefecture🛥Ferry Tadotsu Port - Sanagishima🚗Free parking available at Tadotsu Port💰Ferry round trip 1320 yen (Motoura Port), 1510 yen (Nagasaki Port) ================= #Free photogenic spots #Kagawa Prefecture #Cats #Cat Island #Seto Inland Sea #Photogenic spots #Beautiful spots #0 yen trip #Travel with me
